Much lack of knowledge seems to be evident about the disease of scar let fever. This disease, if contracted at all, must be contracted within seven days after exposure. It is one of the most infectious diseases known. It comes on very rapidly and is at its heighth usually at the end of twenty four hours. Little, or nothing, can be done to prevent it. Since the bringing out of the diptheria antitoxin it was hope fully thought a similar anitoxin, or preventaive, could be found' for scar let fever. Several years ago this scarlet fever antitoxin was thought to be a sure preventative. Experience lias proven otherwise. The principal trouble seems to be that the distinct germ causing scarlet fever has never been found. To set at rest inquiries about the value of this antitoxin I have sent the following telegram, viz: “State Board of Health, Lincoln, Neb. Please wire estimated or proven value of any prophylactic serum or vaccine for scarlet fever. W. F. FINLEY. Answer: Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 21, 1929. Dr. W. F. Finley, O’Neill, Neb. Ricinolated scarlet fever toxin the most promising. None merit approval of this department. (Signed) Director of Public Health. With proper precaution it is doubt ful that anv epidemic will spring up in O’Neill. W. F. FINLEY. PUBLICITY AND BOULDER. (Hastings Tribune) The confusion in the public mind of Boulder, Colorado, situated at the mouth of Boulder Canon, with Boulder Canon of the Colorado river, which is the site of the proposed Boulder dam, is an outstanding example of the value of publicity and advertising in estab lishing the reputation of the place ad vertised. The city of Boulder has well advertised its proximity to scenic at tractions and other features of interest to tourists, with the result that Boul der is known everywhere in the United States, and the name Boulder cannot be printed or mentioned without bringing to mind the town in Colorado and its position as a tourist center and headquarters for sightseeing. Thus it is that with the passage of the Swing-Johnson bill providing for the erection of Boulder data, the pub lic has at once concluded that Boulder, Colorado, is near the proposed site. So general is this understanding that Boulder has been overwhelmed with inquiries that in sheer self-protection the Boulder Chamber of Commerce has been forced to distribute throughout the country circulars explaining that Boulder, Colorado, is not near the proposed site. It explains that while i the city of Boulder is on Boulder j Canon, the proposed Boulder dam’s; location is on Boulder Canon of the j Colorado river, altogether another location, and far from the town of Boulder. The town of Boulder ia on the eastern slope of the Rockies, while Boulder Canon of the Colorado river is on the western slope, and the site of the proposed dam is on the Arizona. Nevada border. To make clear the distinction be tween Boulder, Colorado, and the Boulder dam site, the Boulder Cham ber explains as follows: "The Colorado river rises in north ern Colorado on the western slope of the Rockies about fifty miles north west of Boulder, which is located on the eastern slope. “The river flows southwest from Grand Lake through western Colorado for more than two hundred miles, thence into southeastern Utah where it is joined by Green River that rises in Wyoming, the greater Colorado river then flowing across the southern Utah border into Arizona. Continuing across northern Arizona through the Grand Canon of the Colorado, thence along the Nevada-Arizona border where the great darn is to be con structed, the river flows south along the Arizona-California border and finally empties into the Gulf of Cali fornia.” “No two sections of the west," con tinues the Boulder Chamber’s explana tion, “are more unlike and certainly no canons in sharper contrast that the Boulder Canon of the Colorado river and the beautiful Boulder Canon in Colorado at Boulder’s back door thirty miles from Denver.” There are many tourists who are familiar with the region around Boul der, and in making their wray to the head of the Colorado river on the western slope have crossed the divide at Pall River Pass, 11,000 feet above sea level. But they are not to asso ciate the site of the proposed Boulder dam with Boulder, Colorado. Such is the force of publicity and advertising, however, that it will be a long time before everyone, or nearly everyone, understands the difference in the two locations. That is whaf publicity has done for the town of Boulder, Colo rado. It is to be noted here too that the very suggestion of the building of the great dam swamped Boulder, Colo rado, with inquiries from thousands who honed to participate in the pro posed development. This is a phase which Npbraskans may well keep in mind while considering proposed Platte river developments. What we are dealing with now are great pro jects, large enough to effect great changes. Dr. George J. Fisher, Depot] Chief Scout Executive, Boy Scout of America. Norfolk, Neb., Feb. 18: More than two hundred Nebraskans interested in Boy Scout work have been invited to attend the second meeting of the Area Extension Committee, which meets at Hotel Norfolk, February 23.

Fuel system of the new Ford has been designed for reliability and long service » THE practical value of Ford simplicity of design is es pecially apparent in the fuel system. The gasoline tank is built Integral with the cowl and is unusually sturdy because it is made of heavy sheet steel, terne plated to prevent rust or corrosion. An additional factor of strength is the fact that it is composed of only two pieces, instead of three or four, and is electrically welded—not soldered. Because of the location of the tank, the entire flow of gasoline is an even, natural flow—following the natural law of gravity. This is the simplest and most direct way of supplying gasoline to the carburetor without vari ations in pressure. The gaso line feed pipe of the new Ford is only 18 inches lonp and is easily accessible all the way. The gitsoline passes from the tank to the carburetor through a filter or sediment bulb mounted on the steel dash which separates the gasoline tank from the engine. The carburetor is specially designed and has been built Since all adjustments are fixed except the needle valve and idler, there is practi cally nothing to get out of order. The choke rod on the dash acts as a primer and also as a regulator of your gasoline mixture. The new hot spot manifold insures complete vaporization of the gasoline before it enters the combustion chamber of the engine. As a matter of fact, the fuel system of the new Ford is so simple in design and so carefully made that it requires very little service attention. The filter or sediment bulb should be cleaned at regular intervals and the carburetor screen removed and washed in gasoline. Oc casionally the drain plug at the bottom of tliecarburetor should be removed and the carburetor drained for a few seconds. Have yonr Ford dealer look after these important little details for you when you have the car oiled and greased. A thorough, peri odic ehecking-up costs little, but it has a great deal to do to deliver many _ with long life and thousands of miles continuously good of good service. performance.
